Tollytots Review and Giveaway

Tollytots recently sent all three of my girls a My First Disney Baby Princess Doll.  Somehow, without me telling them, they knew exactly which favorite princess each of my girls’ has and sent those.  FB immediately started blabbing and singing and dancing when she saw Snow White.  So, we basically knew which one she was going to get but since we received the dolls right before Diva’s birthday, we allowed her the first choice, I already knew which doll she would choose though.

Diva chose Mulan, Drama chose Ariel and of course FB got exactly the doll she wanted, Snow White.  The My First Disney Princess Baby Dolls were a little smaller than most of the dolls that my girls have.  They did however seem to be the PERFECT size for FB, who is now 16 months old.  She carries that Snow White Doll all over the place and if she can get her hands on the other two dolls it is a pain to pry them out of her arms.

See Diva in the back so sad that she has to wait

When I say the Dolls are a little smaller, I don’t mean that in a bad way.  My girls have lots of dolls.  They have lots of people in their lives that like to spoil them.  Despite my best efforts to explain to their grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends that my girls do not need anymore toys, we always manage to acquire a new set of toys every birthday and Christmas.  It’s okay though, I have good girls, they appreciate what they get.

Tollytot’s description on the website:

“Your favorite Disney Princesses as cute cuddly babies! Choose from Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, Ariel, and Tiana. Each 12-inch soft bodied Princess is dressed in an adorable onesie in her signature color and a tiara.

SRP: $9.99-11.99”

They are clearly missing Mulan from the list of available dolls.  However, she exhist, I promise because we have her at my house.  A little about Tollytots for you, since this is a company that’s I’ve never heard of, I’m sure you’ll like some more information:

Browsing the website I see a huge selection of accessories for the dolls.  I could easily give this website to the grandparents and they would have ideas for gifts for each birthday and Christmas for years to come.  Since my youngest is only 16 months old.  Drama is six and I have a feeling she’ll still be into the dolls for at least a few more years.  The grandparents would absolutely love this information.

This is what FB looked like when I took the dolls away to take pictures.
Big sister, Drama, is trying to make her better.  

None of my girls have been the type of child to carry a toy around with them.  However, with the My First Disney Princess Baby Doll they like to take them with them to their aunt’s house.  Luckily, we have family to watch them while we are away at work.  Even their aunt made a comment to us about how much the girls seem to enjoy those dolls much more than any other toy they have had.  At $9.99 - $11.99, I’d say that’s a good investment.

The Dolls have adorable fabric on their costumes.  Snow White has apples, Ariel has seashells and Mulan has cute little fans on her.  I can tell you that the pretty tiaras and that adorable red bow did not stay on the dolls for longer than approximately 3.4 seconds.  I will, however, say that no tiara or bow stand a chance unless it is permanently attached to the doll when it comes to my girls.  Currently the red bow is in my cold air return vent (I just saw it there yesterday when looking for one of my shoes – not that I thought my shoe was in the vent).

I recommend Tollytots, they really do provide quality toys for a great price.   My girls have lots of dolls and the dolls they received from Tollytots are most assuredly their favorites.
